Pre-Completion Checklist

Scope

Use this checklist before declaring Truthmark work complete.

Checklist

• Did the change stay within the requested scope?
• If behavior, contracts, or workflow text changed, did the nearest canonical docs change in the same working change?
• If this was a major product, onboarding, install, command, positioning, or workflow change, did you review the root README.md and update stale user-facing claims, examples, or command sequences?
• If canonical routing changed, did docs/truthmark/areas.md change too?
• If AGENTS.md changed, did manual edits stay outside the managed Truthmark block?
• Did you run the narrowest meaningful verification command from docs/standards/testing-and-verification.md?
• If a normally expected verification step was skipped, did you state the reason explicitly?
• If the task was documentation-only, did you confirm whether Truth Sync should be skipped rather than run?
